Hiram, I bought the thing, and to tell you the truth, I'm seriously considering downloading the crack "just in case." In case Curious goes out of business. In case I need more than 3 registration codes and when I call CL they decide they don't like the sound of my voice and don't want to give me a new one. In case I happen to need a new install at the same time their database is under the weather. I bought Poser 1 and every version since, but I may still download this crack and save it in a mason jar with instructions to break glass in times of emergency. Phoenix
